Yeah, it runs in my family, and it occurred to me that I'm bound to end up with it, so I'm curious about what's best for the joints. I can't imagine the paracetamol will help much  

Ibuprofen causes stomach ulcers and sudden death after long-term use. I was prescribed with it for "tension headaches" for years; didn't do much other than make me sleepy, and it was a big relief when someone finally realised (after thirty fucking years) that it was a type of migraine that could be cured with a low-dose betablocker. Thirty fucking years of praying for death in darkened rooms.

Anyway, I've tried to stay away from the Brufen and put up with joint pain, as my mother had chronic stomach ulcers when she was a kid, and some of her stories were horrifying  

What about steroid injections? Have had them in hands and feet. Will let you know if I drop dead one day but it would seem a take way to go out (killed by Ibuprofen).

Aye, my mum's had them a few times as her knees are (as the doctor put it) fucked, and she's putting off having them replaced (she's one of those folk for whom white-knuckle pain is a minor inconvenience). I was supposed to get one in my shoulder at the start of the year, but the physio recommended that I put it off until Covid was under control, as apparently they f**k your immune system. That's the extent of my knowledge. Thankfully lifting weights seems to have helped the shoulder a lot (although it was fucking agony at first).

Steroids seem to have done alright for Arnie, though.

Edit: glad to read that you'll let us know when you've died. We'll have a whip-round for the missus.

Felt just like getting a fork through the hands/feet. Hairy and angry after but helped with joint swelling. 
 

Mrs Par will have the life insurance spent and be sitting on a beach in the Maldives quicker than you can say “I’m glad he’s dead”.

I'm trying to work out how @Abby Normal will inform us that he's deid. Maybe by Ouija board

"I think I'm getting a presence. Oh bollocks, I've sliced my finger open on the glass"

"Must be a message from Abby then.."

Had Pate for lunch yesterday. Came home from work for the wife to tell me she’d flung the last bit out as the use but date was 27th of March. Haven’t been able to trust a fart since 03:00 this morning and even though it’s glorious I’m freezing. Am I dying? Thoughts and prayers time P&B.

I had similar symptoms in February. Likely to be Gastro-enteritis. I had to have a couple of days off work and at the end I had an arse like the Japanese flag. Not particularly nice.

Arse of the Rising Sun is, I presume, not uncommon across the P&B spectrum. I'm sitting in my bunker fervently wishing there was sudocreme close to hand.

I often have a thing where I am particularly aware of my heartbeat. It's sort of difficult to explain other than I randomly have a series of 3 heartbeats where the first two build towards a 'big' one that occurs in the middle of my two collar bones.

They happen every so often and can be a few times in a single hour, a few times a day or even not happen for a few days.

As I said, it's difficult to explain but it's like I'm suddenly very aware of my heartbeat, as if it's building to something. I get two beats then, when a third is expected, a sort of skip or blank or nothing, followed by a 'deep' and 'big' beat that I can physically feel in the 'U' shape where my collar bones meet.

 

Also, I have an odd rash on my calves and part of the top of my left foot. 

[ICTChris]

You should go to the doctor about the heartbeat thing. It could be arrhythmia or something like that - it isn’t usually serious but it’s worth checking out. A guy I work with has it and had an episode that meant he was hospitalised but he just had to put in place some lifestyle changes - lose a bit of weight, avoid stress, lay off the cocaine and hookers.

Could it be anxiety?

Does it get worse during periods of activity? I'd immediately be worried it was a blood pressure thing. Get to the doctor, FFS!

Also, a rash on the calves is a symptom of the bad AIDS, so you might want to mention that too.

Been getting some pretty bad heartburn recently too, which I am really starting to worry may not actually be heartburn.

Over the past couple of days I have what feels like a pulled muscle directly over my heart, but fear that it is actually my heart. 

Should probably make a GP appointment soon. Actually feel like I might be dying a bit. 

It's shameful for me to admit this, but I've put off going to see the GP about some things for a while now because I fear I will just be told it's because I'm a fat dick, and I'm very much ashamed and embarrassed about that. In fact the shame and embarrassment of it have ruined my life for a long time.

Anyway, sob story over.

I'm getting a tooth removed in the morning.

She's got one leg significantly longer than the other, which will slow her down a bit. On the bright side you'll see her coming over a hill.

Had surgery today on a trapped nerve in my arm, first experience of proper anaesthetics. Got a crap tattoo into the bargain.

Dihydrocodeine rock.

Anyone ever get sore/uncomfortable baws from wearing loose boxers? 
This has been the case for me for as long as I can remember, but it's been taken up a notch recently. Really quite uncomfortable down the back/left side at times, especially if I'm lying down or sitting cross legged. 
Always thought it was normal, but perhaps not now. 

Try removing the chastity lock. I find this helps.

You should go to the doctors about this. My dad had two heart attacks 18 years ago and he thought they were heartburn and made a doctors appointment. When he described his symptoms he was put in an ambulance and when they checked it he found out what had happened. He was in his 60s then and had been a 40 year smoker so obviously different from you (I assume!). He was actually taken into hospital again last week as he had really bad heartburn but after checks they confirmed it was just that.

But heartburn can be mistaken for something else. It’s best to get it checked out and go to the GPs. 

My health moan is that I can’t hear in my right ear. I think I need it syringed but am unsure if they’ll let me in the GPs for that. I have put a couple of drops of olive oil in to see if that has an affect, the side of my bonce is like a Greek salad.
